Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
79 metres before the apex | 2 | 87 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 79 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 87 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and aim to be in second gear as you turn in.
As you turn in, be mindful of your throttle application. Gradually increase the throttle to avoid any delay or hesitation, allowing the car to accelerate smoothly out of the corner. Remember to keep your steering inputs precise and controlled, guiding the car through the apex and onto the exit.
By executing this corner with discipline and attention to detail, you can carry good speed through the turn and set yourself up well for the next section of the track. Stay focused, trust your braking points, and maintain a smooth, consistent driving style.
